Critics reviews

An exploitation film that criticizes exploitation by being exploitative. That's the best way to define Cannibal Holocaust without inspiring vomiting or heavy drinking... The camera fabricates intimacy by using zooms from afar (especially when capturing the Amazonians as audiences for their own carnage), Rizo Ortolani's easy-listening score increases in distractive irony, and the closing image of skyscrapers rivals the jungle trees in meance.
